Bu...Hey Bob :D!<br /><br />Wow: these are some great photos!<br /><br />But tell me: how did you feel to be in such a historic place and what was the energy of the surroundings?<br /><br />&quot;For a donation you can get a founding farmer to, (get it, founding farmer, just made that up right now),&quot; - LOL LOL LOL this was a good one! Very creative, Lord of the Astrostuff LOL :D!<br /><br />It is true that the warriors look different...do you think they really (really) used real soldiers and covered them with clay? Oh man...*imagining such a thing*<br />In those days going to the tomb with an Emperor or king was considered a great honour, so I wouldn&#39;t be surprised if some of these 9,000 soldiers would have volunteered to turn into &quot;clay&quot; *nodding*.<br />In Africa (and other cultures) they used to send two virgins with the king, along with his possessions - so that he&#39;d be comfortable in the after life...<br /><br />Aaah, this week I was able to watch and hear the video! It is an amazing &amp; grand site indeed: they knew how to do stuff in the past, let me tell you! Hey, I saw a camera in one corridor (in one of the pits)...was it a camera?<br />You have a nice voice, Bob; a sympathetic one too.<br />Thanks for sharing this with us: I loved it :D!<br /><br />CheersMax Coutinhohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12588149349270422294noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1531583969284889983.post-41380025283633043912009-08-18T09:12:06.378-05:002009-08-18T09:12:06.378-05:00That is truly amazing.That is truly amazing.Marvin the Martianhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10651926840296438477noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1531583969284889983.post-68117485296547643282009-08-16T11:03:40.318-05:002009-08-16T11:03:40.318-05:00Hey Bob you are too funny lol :&#39;...the Queen O...Hey Bob you are too funny lol :&#39;...the Queen Of England, Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin, and me to name a few..&#39; - glad you made the team. Thanks for telling the story, this is amazing. I really enjoy reading it. You know this is very interesting about actual faces of the soldiers. This reminds me, there is this altar in Poland carved from wood in 14th century, and the artists apparently used actual faces of people from the street - this is better than a picture, lol, lasts almost forever.
